C371 (2/2)

Every day, they set up stalls on the streets, and the information they gathered was much more thorough than those of the experts.

Shui Qinan smirked and asked softly: ”When I came to the city, how did I find that there were fewer mercenaries? I wonder what happened?”

So that's what you were talking about, ”the little brother seemed to understand this matter very well. He suppressed his voice and moved closer to Shui Qinan, saying,” There's a Mercenary Guild called the Tuoba Mercenary Group. Because they stole the city lord's Purplish Goldstone, they were sealed by the city lord. ”

After hearing this, Shui Qinan immediately furrowed her brows, and muttered: ”She stole … City Lord's Purplish Goldstone? ”

”That's right, this matter was the subject of a lot of commotion in the city, and they all ended up in jail. I heard, ah, they actually stole one hundred thousand of the City Lord's Purplish Goldstone, one hundred thousand! ”

The little brother seemed to be very focused on the ”one hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone”. It was likely that he had never seen such a large number of Purplish Goldstone before, and he was extremely angry.

Zhu Er stood beside Shui Qinan and pulled her sleeves as she softly asked: ”Master, what should we do?”

Shui Qinan looked at her following Zhu Er's hand, then turned to look at Little Brother, smiled slightly and said: ”Thank you, Little Brother.”

With that, he turned and left.

The young man behind her looked at her back and was a bit confused. He scratched his forehead and continued working with his head lowered.

Zhu Er followed behind Shui Qinan and quickly caught up with her hurried footsteps. She said quickly: ”Master, that Tuoba Mercenary Group wouldn't have really stolen the city lord's Purplish Goldstone, right?”

Only, Shui Qinan did not respond to her question, and continued to walk forward.

What she gave to the Tuoba Mercenaries was a hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone. Since the mayor had lost a hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone, he didn't know if he should say that the mercenaries were truly unlucky.

The two of them quickly walked to the entrance of the City Lord's Palace. Shui Qinan stared at the vermillion door for a long time before stepping forward to knock.

However, the guard at the door stopped them before they could get close. He loudly shouted: ”Who are you?”

Shui Qinan coldly glanced at the two, and Zhu Er, who was behind him, came out, and shouted loudly: ”We are looking for the City Lord!”

”Looking for the City Lord?”

The two guards scoffed, sized the two of them up, and mocked them: ”Who are you, to actually dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion to cause trouble? And you, little girl, it's better for you to leave quickly, so that we don't have to chase you guys away later! ”

She really did not want to waste time with these people, yet she could not directly charge in. She could only say coldly, ”I have something to discuss with the mayor regarding the Tuoba Mercenary Group.”

The news of Tuoba Mercenary Group stealing one hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone had already spread throughout the entire city, so these two guards were naturally aware of this as well. However, they looked at Shui Qinan suspiciously, and said hesitantly: ”This matter has been investigated thoroughly, what can you say?”

Shui Qinan still wanted to say something, but Zhu Er, who was beside him, had no patience left. She immediately rushed forward and said at the same time: ”Master, don't waste time talking to them, we'll just barge in.”
